Pregnant Woman Dies During Fight with Her Neighbor (Photo)

The police in Lagos have arrested a hair dresser, Mrs Tawa Biodun, in connection with the death of a pregnant woman, now late Mrs Esther Oluwadiya.

Mrs Oluwadiya died during a squabble with Tawa who is her neighbour where both of them reside in Lagos.

Sadly, the late Oluwadiya was heavily pregnant with twins before the incident happened.

The sad incident happened on Monday at their house located at 15, Adeyinka street, Arida b/stop, Ikotun.

According to their neighbours, Tawa reportedly engaged Esther Oluwadiya in a fight and in the process she developed complications. She was rushed to Igando General Hospital where she was referred to LUTH where she eventually died.

According to residents, the 16-year-old daughter of Tawa and the 13-year-old son of the late Oluwadiya were fighting and instead of Tawa separating them, she allegedly encouraged her daughter to go and dress up properly to fight Oluwadiya’s son who is younger than her.

This attracted the attention of Oluwadiya who rebuked Tawa for encouraging the children to fight.

According to PM NEWS, this resulted in both women exchanging harsh words that led to a squabble.

During the squabble, Oluwadiya developed complications as a result of the pregnancy and became unconscious. She was rushed to hospitals where she eventually died.

During a visit to the compound, neighbours said that the deceased’s husband identified as Joseph had gone to SCID in connection with the incident.

Neighbours also said they were short of words and described the late Oluwadiya as an easy going woman.
